Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assemblable drawer for furniture and a method for its assembly.
  • front connectors and corner connectors respectively are used, which have parts for coupling which can be inserted in corresponding end openings of the rear and side walls so as to enable a simple and rapid assembly of the parts that make up the drawer.
  • connection between the connectors and the walls of the drawer can occur by simple forced coupling of the parts.
  • such type of forced coupling or engagement in the event of high stresses that are generated in particular when the drawer is full, can be insufficient to keep the drawer stably assembled.
  • the connectors can be provided with tabs or other elastic retention means that can engage by snap action an adapted opening provided on the sides of the side walls and of the rear wall of the drawer.
  • the aim of the present invention is to devise an assemblable drawer that has a rear wall and side walls made of metallic material but free from lateral openings, thus eliminating the need to carry out additional machining operations on those walls, so as to not further negatively affect the overall aesthetic appearance of the drawer, while at the same time ensuring a stable assembly of the drawer even in the event of high stresses.
  • an object of the present invention is to devise an assemblable drawer for furniture that can be assembled in a simple and rapid manner.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise an assemblable drawer for furniture that is highly reliable, easily and practically implemented and low cost.
  • an assemblable drawer for furniture comprising a pair of side walls, a rear wall, a bottom, and a front panel, characterized in that said side walls and said rear wall are provided with end openings which are adapted to allow the coupling of coupling means which in turn are adapted to be locked within said end openings by engagement means which can move for forced or shape coupling of such moveable engagement means in such end openings of such side walls and of such rear wall, wherein said moveable engagement means comprise at least one eccentric engagement element for the forced or shape coupling of said moveable engagement means in said end openings of said rear and side walls, and wherein said moveable engagement means for said corner and front connectors comprise screw means which can engage in said side walls and/or said rear wall.
  • the drawer according to the invention comprises a pair of side walls 2 and 3, a rear wall 4, a bottom 5 and a front wall 6.
  • the side walls are profiled walls made of metallic material that have hollow cross-sections that define end openings or cavities; the possibility is not ruled out however that the walls can instead be made of other materials, for example plastic materials, wood or the like.
  • the end openings are provided in the side walls 2, 3 and in the rear wall 4.
  • end openings of the side walls are designated by the reference numeral 7
  • end openings of the rear wall are designated by the reference numeral 8.
  • the side walls 2, 3 and the rear wall 4 have lateral surfaces that are extended according to a respective longitudinal axis, and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention these surfaces have no openings and/or machining; in particular there is no opening or protrusion whose axis extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the walls proper.
  • coupling means are provided which are constituted by corner elements 10 which are provided at the coupling between the side walls 2 and 3 and the rear wall 4, and front connectors 11 which are provided for coupling the side walls 2 and 3 with the front wall 6.
  • the front connectors 11 are engaged by the front coupling means 12 which are arranged to be integral with the wall of the front panel 6.
  • the side walls 2 and 3 have grooves 15 which are adapted to allow the coupling of the bottom 5 of the drawer.
  • the rear corner connectors 10 are coupled to the corner elements 16 which are inserted in the end cavities 8 of the rear wall 4 and in end cavities 18 of the side walls 2 and 3.
  • corner connectors 10 are inserted in the end openings 7 of the side walls 2 and 3 on one side and in a central groove 20 of the rear wall 4 of the drawer according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the drawer In order to lock the coupling means (i.e. the corner elements 10 and the front elements 11), the drawer according to a preferred embodiment of the invention has moveable engagement means which have a control element for example in the form of a slotted head for a screwdriver.
  • the moveable engagement means with control element preferably comprise eccentric engagement elements 25 which are rotatably moveable and, for the front connectors 11 and the parts of the corner connectors 10 that are to be inserted in the openings 7 of the side walls 2, 3, are in the form of screw means 25', for example trilobular screws, which when they are tightened, among other things, generate a pull for a firmer coupling of the parts;
  • the head 26 is adapted to be rotated in an adapted seat defined in the corner connectors 10 (in this case designated by the reference numeral 27) and in the front connectors 11 (in this case the seat is designated by the reference numeral 28) and is conveniently shaped, for example with radial protrusions or beaks 26', so as to define a stroke limiting stop for the rotation of the engagement means.
  • the head 26 is adapted to be rotated in such seats 27 and 28 and with their profile the screw means 25' bite the inner profile of the end openings 7 with regard to the corner connectors 10 and the front connectors 11.
  • the moveable engagement means 25 comprise an eccentric engagement surface 30, with threading, which can engage an upper surface 20' of the central groove 20 of the rear wall 4; in this case also the head 26 is conveniently contoured, for example with a radial protrusion or beak 26', to define a stroke limiting stop for the rotation of the engagement means.
  • the coupling means 12 of the front panel 6, for example in the form of elements that can be pre-mounted on the front panel 6, are adapted to allow the coupling thereof in the front connectors 11 once these have been coupled to the side walls 2 and 3.
  • the coupling elements 12, so as to retain in a longitudinal direction have lateral grooves 12' that extend vertically to engage with internal protrusions 11' of the front connectors 11 by way of a sliding movement from the top downward shown in Figures 8 and 9 ; furthermore the coupling elements 12 have, on a rear side, an elastic retainer tooth 12" which can engage a transverse rib 11" in the front connector 11, so as to firmly retain the parts and allow an uncoupling thereof only if a preset and significant upward stress is applied to the front panel 6.
  • the assemblable drawer according to the invention is assembled as follows: firstly the operator arranges the side walls 2, 3, the rear panel or rear wall 4, and the front panel 6, together with the bottom 5 of the drawer. At this point the operator couples the coupling means, in the form of the rear corner connectors 10 and the front connectors 11, within the side walls 2, 3, by tightening the coupling means within such walls with the moveable engagement means 25' and 30.
  • the moveable engagement means cause an engagement, with forced and/or shape coupling, in the end openings of the side walls 2, 3 and in the central groove 20 of the rear wall 4.
  • the operator applies the bottom panel 5 to the side walls by inserting it in the grooves 15 and finally he/she applies the front panel 6 by coupling the front coupling means 12 in the front connectors 11.
  • the drawer according to the present invention fully achieves the set aim and objects, in that it makes it possible to be assembled in a simple and rapid manner, and it does not require lateral openings in the side walls of the drawer, making use instead of end openings that are substantially invisible to the user.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
